on july 28th, 2006, i received my first paycheck from the elephant room since may of 2001. in these past 5 years i have been working off my outstanding bar tab.
by january 2004 i had worked down from $1400 to $1200. since then i have not put any drinks on my tab and all of my hourly wages ($2.13 as a cocktail waitress, $4 something as a bartender) have been applied to my tab.
the last paycheck i had received prior to this one was in the amount of $.25. i still have it.
at the beginning of a 10am meeting on friday i somehow felt that i needed to say aloud "i know why my diaphram's sore."
